More Cookies and Chili

Feb 28

So it seems that it is easier for me to just do 2 posts a day as opposed to 3. If I can do 3 I will but if you don’t see an updated post around lunch time expect it at dinner! =)

On to the rest of the day….

For a mid morning snack I had a Chocolate Mint Melty cookie and a glass of plain hempmilk.

Lunch was more Goddess Gorbanozs with a toasted sprouted grain tortilla broken up (like home made tortilla chips- I sprayed it with canola oil and sprinkled on salt) and 1/2 a cucumber!

When Sienna went down for a nap I had the urge to bake… again. So instead of doing the chores I should have been doing I made Super-Charge Me! Cookies from ED&BV. Of course they turned out great! I had one fresh out of the oven… and one or two more later on… =D

I desperately wanted to eat cookies all afternoon but of course that wouldn’t be the best thing to do… so I also had a mango as well.

For dinner I made yet another ED&BV recipe- the Sweet Potato Lentil Chili. Wow, it was awesome! It was so full of flavor- the best chili I have ever had and it didn’t even have any meat (or mock meat). I topped mine with 1/4 an avocado.

I also made some garlic toast for dippin (sprouted grain toast, garlic, Earth Balance and salt). One slice of toast for me and one slice for Darren.

For dessert I had one more cookie….

Good Night!

Pancakes!

Feb 28

In effort to spend less money on groceries I decided to make a batch of pancakes for breakfast this morning. I’m going to be cooking and baking more in effort to stay on budget!! Plus… it’s fun and better for you!

When I woke up I had more pineapple. =)

Then I made Dreena Burton’s Blueberry Carob Pancakes (ED&BV) which turned out great! I really love her recipes.

I had 3 (1 big and 2 small) pancakes w/ Earth Balance, 1/2 banana, maple syrup and walnuts. I frozen the rest of the pancakes.

It was a yummy morning!

Baking and Grandma’s!

Feb 27

Sorry for the late post- after I ate lunch Sienna woke up from her nap and we went to my mom’s. I didn’t have time to blog! When I got home I made dinner and then Darren’s mom came over- I took the opportunity to bake cookies!

Lets start with my mid morning snack- I had 1/4 cup walnuts. I also had a “greens” drink w/ a bit of juice (not pictured).

For lunch I had 2 slices of sesame Ezekiel bread w/ tahini. I thought I took a picture… apparently not because it is no where to be found on my camera…. hmmm

And I had Pacific’s roasted carrot soup which I bulked up w/ a carrot, 1 celery stock, 1/2 yellow pepper, tofu and some button mushrooms (sauteed in earth balance). It was really good!

I also had one mini So Delicious “ice cream” bar… =D

While at my mom’s I had some organic dark chocolate… sorry no photo! And I also had a glass of DHA silk when I got home.

I made Dreena Burton’s Goddess Garbanzos for dinner! I added 1 carrot, celery, 1/2 apple, and rasins to the mix. The bulk of the recipe is chickpeas, Annie’s goddess dressing and vegan mayo. Yum! I had it with half a whole wheat pita toasted w/ canola oil spray (the real stuff) and salt. I also had the other half of the apple.

And for dessert I made Dreena’s Chocolate mint Melties! OMG. They turned out fabulous. I had two w/ a glass of almond milk.

Again, I apologize for the late post!

MIA!

Feb 27

Sorry I’ve been MIA lately- I’m back. I’ve just been busy and sooo tired. Any free time I have I want to use to rest! Anywhoodles I’m back ta blogging!

This morning when I got up I had some fresh pineapple. I loooove pineapple and I was so excited to get some! It was the perfect ripeness too!

For breakfast I had Quinoa flakes with almond milk.

I topped it with trail mix and agave nectar. Some banana was cooked in as well!

I really like Quinoa flakes- they are quite different than oats but similar at the same time! Not chewy at all though. I let Sienna try a bite…. but of course she spat it back at me- she is not a fan of solids. Boob milk is still her favorite! =)

Breakfast

Feb 22

For breakfast this morning I switched it up and had some fruit/nut manna bread by Natures Path. I spread almond butter on top and had soy yogurt and apple sauce with agave and cinnamon on the side.
